Based strictly on the pics available on MPG, the markings on Sonia paraplesiana
don't appear to match my moth.

Hey ALl you Leppers!
Ken, why isn't your Tort Sonia paraplesiana? (NB: there has been confusion
between this and constrictana, but the current understanding of the latter
taxon is that it is restricted to the Gulf Coast.)
[To everyone] And BTW do you have Gilligan et al.'s "Olethruetine Moths of teh
mid-western United States"? If you are going to try to ID Torts without using a
museum collection (i.e., by photo), then this guide is a must. It will set you
back about $90, but it is well worth it, and you will probably dog-ear so badly
within a season or two that you will have to buy a second copy. Seriously, for
all the TN and western NC moth-ers, it will probably cover close to 100% of the
Olethreutines you will find, and for east coasters about 80%. MPG still has a
lot of uncertainty associated with the living shots of Olethreutines, although
Bob has worked hard to show a definitive collection of museum specimens. Here
are the highlights: hard cover; 306 species covered all shown as spread
specimens with high quality photos; a complete genitalic photo library (for
those who like moth porn); ecological and phenolical info; great frontmatter on
how to discuss/analyze
pattern in Olethreutines; a larval key, etc.
You can order the book through this link:

I shot this one a couple of nights ago and based on the plates on MPG, the most
likely suspects are 2946Phaneta apacheana or3166Pelochrista metariana. Does
anyone have range info on these 2 species? I've searched but not much info is
available on either one. There are photos of each by Mark Dreiling which I
think means Oklahoma. His shot of 3166 is backed up by DNA testing so I'm
leaning towards that one.
